Built for Sheffield's businesses

Sheffield has real strength in advanced manufacturing, steel-tech and digital, and startups here don't need a generalist down the road — they need specialists who answer quickly and price fairly. Because we work online, you get exactly that, plus a nudge towards the right local support: the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority is a good first stop for grants and advice, and our Swoop-powered funding portal searches 1,000+ lenders and grant schemes on top.

What should Sheffield engineering firms know about allowances and CIS?

Advanced manufacturing and engineering businesses across South Yorkshire buy expensive equipment and hire specialist labour, and both carry tax consequences worth getting right. Machinery normally qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance, with full expensing available to companies on qualifying new plant — and the timing of a purchase against your year end can move the relief by a full twelve months. If any of your work is construction-related, the Construction Industry Scheme applies: contractors verify subcontractors with HMRC and deduct 20% from the labour element, or 30% where the subcontractor is not verified, and subcontractors reclaim it later. CIS handled badly is one of the most common and most expensive small-business filing errors we see corrected.

Sheffield questions

Asked all the time

Do you offer accountancy for startups in Sheffield?

Yes. We're specialist accountants for startups covering Sheffield and South Yorkshire, working entirely online — so you get specialists rather than whoever happens to be nearby.

Does the Construction Industry Scheme apply to my Sheffield business?

It applies if you pay subcontractors for construction work, or are paid as a subcontractor. Contractors verify each subcontractor with HMRC and deduct 20% from the labour element, or 30% where they are not verified, and file monthly returns. Subcontractors reclaim the deductions later. Both sides of it are easy to get wrong and expensive to correct.

Do I need a Sheffield-based accountant?

Not any more. Cloud accounting means everything — bookkeeping, tax, filing and advice — happens securely online, so where your accountant sits is irrelevant. What matters is that they know your world and reply when you need them.

How much do you charge?

Fixed monthly fees scaled to your turnover, agreed in writing up front, with FreeAgent included. No hourly billing and no surprise bills.
